AV Linux MX Edition 23.1 (AVL-MXe) Released!

[AVLinux]

I got apt-notifier installed to start at boot according to Glen's instructions. Booting now works correctly via systemd and the sound card starts correctly. When booting sysvinit remains in a loop, as I described earlier.

There is a problem with the Startup applications tool. I had to try several times before I got the changes done. Flashed a red text error at the top of the screen

I have a better solution for apt-notifier but it requires some 3rd party testers, are you and @alextone willing to test?

Of course. I'll just make a backup of this first.

i do not understand.. never had such issues, that is crazy, i thought it was errors on the live usb so i have installed on dualboot, but it is pratically impossible to do anything in my case.
applications won't start, cannot see the other partition, no application is assigned to file.shot-2024-01-18_14-17-37.jpgshot-2024-01-18_14-16-03.jpg

Hold on, help is on the way, I have some other things to sort out first...

Yep.

(unfortunately these type of issues are not my forte)

Yeah, I figure it's something silly, so I got to work today & booted it up, got to the black screen & thinking maybe I just can't see stuff because it killed the brightness I typed my user password hit enter, still nothing, I use a kinesis advantage 2 keyboard so I don't have a function key or a brightness up or down keys, so I tried hooking up a Dell keyboard I found laying around the shop hitting keys on it didn't seem to do anything, then I hit the numlock key just to see if the keyboard was even being recognized & the light came on then I noticed this funny X on the screen...

which apparently is the mouse pointer icon as it follows the mouse around the screen when I move it... Still can't seem to get any sort of other input or anything else to respond... This is so weird...

Ok so I managed to get to terminal, what is the command for starting enlightenment desktop?

UPDATE: ran sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

After upgrade I got this:

What does logging in and entering 'startx' into the console do?

What does logging in and entering 'startx' into the console do?

Back to black screen & I have to ctl+alt F2-7 if I run startx in any of those I get black screen & can't get back to terminal via ctl+alt F2-7 (unless I have not typed startx on that desktop/session or whatever)
